New York Ren.

A Minneapolis (Minn.) special says
The Municipal-Court room was the scene
of quite little romance yesterday after
noon. John Gonli and George Hunter
are the names Of two Young fellows who
were armigned on the charge Of vagraucy,
havingjust been brought in from a saloon.
They have been seen about the streets n
good deal during the past two or three
months, and while they never appeared
to lack for money, they gave the impress
sion of having no visible means OF sup
port. Both told their story TO Judge
Mahonev in straightforward sort of
way. and while he WAS hesiiatiDg as 10
the course 10 pursue under the circum-
stances n gentleman dropped in who had'
known them for years under far different
circumstances in New York. He cOrro-
borated their story and they were both
dismissed.
These two young fellows are scions of
wealthy New York families, and until
recently were gentlemen of leisure in the
great metropolis. Years ego Gould's

aristocratic old town. After the death
OF the father the family moved
to New York city. being abmdantly sup
piled with this worlds goods. The boys
were sent ND the river to well known
boarding school, where they spent seve-
raj wears. The youth in question has al
ways been OF the adventurous sort, and

TO live along in the conventional chan
nels of city life he broke away from the
parental hearthstone. and with his com
yade started for the home Of the festive

that capacity he is considered one Of the
best in New York, and hes for years
commanded a salary OF several hundred

that profession he had finally TO succumb

His nerves were gone, and he mad

A couple OF months ago both youths

claim to have tried earnestly 70 get some
employment during their stay 10 the city,
but without success. Hunter bad several
opportunities to resume his former
vocation, but dared not venture IN
the business again. The Judge con-
cluded that he bad better send them up
on general principles. when, quite fortu-
natelv. their story was confirmed by the
arrival of an old acquaintance. Young
Gould said in a conversation that he eX-
pected 10 leave for New York in few
DAYS, his presence being required there
in the settlement of the family estate.
Che Hon .. h. Chute, of Albany, was,
